@SnarelureImplying that there are only two opposite positions to be taken is seriously ridiculous. However, the president's effects on the economy are not in the ballpark of as direct or drastic as you're implying. The Fed and Congress have nearly all the policy-making power when it comes to the economy, and the president can only impact those indirectly and in a limited capacity. For instance, the success you think Reagan had with the economy was actually almost entirely the result of blessed Paul Volcker, peace be upon him.

@Carnalpleasure@SniperGod I think the idea is that the President can't really do much to help the economy and should gtfo of the way. That was Reagan's mantra as opposed to Obama, who sticks his grubby fingers everywhere. OP's chart pretty much verifies this idea

@kizzmybuttCalculate the variance, SD, and variance of error to see if your data is worth a shit. Then calculate the variance and covariance of your two data sets to see if correlation actually exists before you make a claim of it.

@TechHater Making up a point that nobody mentioned and shooting it down. Just like you did

@WebTool I don't see why anyone tries to argue otherwise, it's widely known that GDP growth and market performance has grown mainly under democrats, especially because of WW2, Dotcom, and the 2008 Financial Crisis

@RavySnake @WebTool Stocks =/= the economy. The fact that interest rates have been held low enough to create this bubble speaks volumes towards stagnant economic growth

@CouchChiller See picture. Bill Clinton is the only case where this is close to true. Or are you referring to Jimmy Carter's years of booming economic growth lol? Reagan's years blew even Clinton out of the water without creating a bubble. Try arguing your case instead of just shilling without statistics or facts

@Soft_memberbe Obamadouble the national debtshills on the internet still try to blame BushSad, reallyThe last time we came near 10% gdp growth in a quarter was Reagan, so your Nixon comment makes no sense whatsoever.
